Job 24:1-10 ▼

1 “For this reason from the Mighty One || Times have not been hidden, || And those knowing Him have not seen His days.

2 They reach the borders, || They have taken a drove away violently, || Indeed, they do evil.

3 They lead away the donkey of the fatherless, || They take in pledge the ox of the widow,

4 They turn aside the needy from the way, || Together have hid the poor of the earth.

5 Behold, wild donkeys in a wilderness, || They have gone out about their work, || Seeking early for prey, || A mixture for himself—food for young ones.

6 They reap his provender in a field, || And they glean the vineyard of the wicked.

7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.

8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, || And without a refuge—have embraced a rock.

9 They take away violently || The orphan from the breast, || And they lay a pledge on the poor.

10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, || And hungry—have taken away a sheaf.
